Default Secret Santa Holiday Exchange

*Update:

If we can reach 30 people I will send out 30 autograph baseballs randomly to participants. Mostly AZ players but I have a few nice ones I will include.



Hi guys! Welcome to the SS holiday exchange!

Here is the rules/timeline combo:

1. December 8th is the cutoff to enter.

2. Gifts should be sent on or before December 15th (Make sure it gets there on time!)

3. Gifts should be valued at $25 or greater. I will do my best to give each SS their interests for both giving and receiving.

4. When sending the gift add "N54SS" somewhere visible so it is not opened early! Please open gifts on or after the 25th.


If you would like to participate please PM me your info, it should include:

E-mail Address
Name
Address

Sean asked me about this, so I said I didn't see any harm if he wants to take the ball and run with it. Thanks again to everyone on the forum who participates and shares in the hobby we all love....Have fun and Happy Holidays!!

Here are some of the wants/gives:
Wants:
Wax, Auto balls, "anything older"x a few, vintage cubs, vintage phillies, t206's, zeenuts/foreign issues, caramel's,

Gives:
Philly items, Auto balls, pre war sets including m116, diamond stars, t206's, 50's-70's, caramel's

There are a few people who have either broad wants or gives (these help in general).

I'm interested, just have a question for clarification. You stated, gifts should be valued at $25 or greater. Are you going to have an approximate max value limit as well? I'm not going to be a scrooge over a minor difference in the approximate value I give and receive, but I do think that perhaps a similar approximate maximum value limit should be instituted. It would be terrible for someone to get upset because they give something valued at say $90 and receive something substantially less at say $30.

Don't agree. If I know there's a $25 minimum and I still give away something worth $90, that's me being charitable and giving, not because I'm expecting $90 of stuff in return.

Even if you instituted a maximum, there's no still no guarantee you'd get a gift of similar max monetary value. A chance, sure, but, not a guarantee.

With the rules as they are, I bet there are still a few of us who are looking at this as a way to give away some nice stuff worth even more than $25 to one of our fellow forum friends. And that's to be nice not a search for equality.

Mike, I can certainly see that view point, and I applaud those individuals for keeping with the season and being charitable. I could reword my OP with my a different view.

Put the shoe on the other foot. What if my hobby budget is very small and all I have are items valued at $25-$30 yet someone is charitable enough to send me an item valued well beyond my hobby means at $90-$100. I didn’t ask for that, and perhaps that puts me and other similar individuals in a tough spot, don’t you think? No one likes to be thought of as a “charity” case. And while you as the giver might not care and think you’re doing a good dead, it might not be received in the same light on the other end.

Maybe I’m in the minority and that’s fine. I've been involved in many SS over the years and I've seen these reactions and feelings from people, I just thought that including an upper limit would help to eliminate any such feelings from arising by anyone involved. I would hate to know that anyone feels anything less than the holiday spirit after it’s all said and done is all.

I feel there should be no limit...

If one chooses to give a larger gift that is their choice... Just know that the gifts are probably going to be cheaper than that - and you did it in the spirit of giving and it is a GIFT.

It is secret for a reason and no one is a charity case. You give because that is what you feel comfortable giving and you hope it excites the other individual rather than gives hard feelings - that is why there is a minimum and no max. I really hope people would be excited they got something nice rather than the opposite .

Today is the cutoff to enter, I will then organize everything and match people to who they are most compatible with sending,,, We have some really odd wants though so I'm not sure what to do with those yet. Shipping on the 15th or close so that it gets there to be opened.

I will PM everyone their Santa tomorrow... Might just end up extending the date as not to rush anyone... (Only gives 5 days to ship at the moment)

Any arguments if the deadline for someone to receive a gift is later than the 25th?
